If you haven’t tried surfing or scuba diving yet, what are you waiting for?

Visitors choose the Daytona Beach area for many reasons, but mostly because it’s a perfect blend of things to do! The curious can explore a mix of historic landmarks,museums and an old sugar mill. Visit the ballpark where Jackie Robinson played in the first integrated Major League game in the spring of 1946. Take an afternoon and go miniature golfing and for some relief from the hot sun, take the family to a water park and get soaked!

If you haven’t tried surfing or scuba diving yet, what are you waiting for? Breathe in the tangy aroma of the ocean while riding a bike along the dunes—our area is full of unexpected pleasures including fishing. The Floridawaters have some of the best sport fishing you’ll ever experience. Let a charter boat captain show you the way.

We never forget we’re home to the Daytona 500 and One of the few places where you are allowed to drive on the beach. All year round you can browse through racing-inspired shops, explore the interactive exhibits at the International Speedway or grab the wheel yourself at a go-kart track.

Take a short drive to Deland to experience Florida’s wild places—a birdwatcher’s paradise of migrating birds and waterfowl. You can dip your paddle in a meandering waterway or fly across the water on an air boat. Finish with a quick dip in the 72 degree natural spring at De Leon State Park.
